Not every roofing problem can be solved with a patch and a prayer. For John Dean, a seasoned Public Works Manager who oversees complex construction projects for a living, that lesson became frustratingly real after multiple contractors failed to stop a persistent skylight leak and address failing flashing on his aging roof.
John had seen enough shoddy, short-term fixes. He needed a contractor who could actually diagnose the root cause, communicate honestly about cost, and deliver a lasting solution. That’s when he found Amor Roofing.
The Problem: A Leaking Skylight No One Could Fix
John’s situation was deceptively complex:
- Repeated contractor visits had failed to resolve the leaking skylight.
- Failing flashing was left unaddressed because other companies couldn’t identify the true source.
- Vague estimates and unclear pricing left John frustrated and uncertain.
As someone who manages contractors professionally, John recognized exactly what was missing: transparency, expertise, and accountability.
The Amor Difference: Honest Estimates, Custom Solutions
When Amor Roofing assessed John’s home, we did something different. We explained the problem clearly, outlined a comprehensive solution, and provided upfront cost estimates covering both hard costs and a reasonable change-order range before any work began.
John didn’t just want a patch. He made the smart decision to replace the entire roof with Brava Spanish Tile, a premium composite material known for its beauty, durability, and weather resistance. We enthusiastically supported the choice. Brava is a Class 4 impact-rated composite that reads like real clay tile without the weight, breakage, or freeze-thaw issues that plague natural clay in the Pacific Northwest.
The Real Challenge: Custom Skylight Framing
The skylight was the true test of craftsmanship. This wasn’t a standard repair. It required:
- Complete removal of the old, failing skylight structure.
- Custom framing design and build-out around the skylight opening.
- Seamless integration of the new skylight with the Brava Spanish Tile system.
- A fully waterproof and structurally sound installation built to last decades.
Our team took the time to do this right, designing, rebuilding, and integrating every element with precision. The result is a skylight that is perfectly sealed, aesthetically flawless, and warrantied for the long haul.
The Outcome: Exceeding Expectations
For John, the proof was in the results. As someone who holds contractors to a high professional standard, he shared that he had never worked with a company so accurate with initial estimates and so reliable in delivering exactly what was promised.
That’s the Amor standard.
